Synopsis
The feminist and author of such books as THE BEAUTY MYTH and FIRE WITH FIRE reflects on pregnancy and motherhood in American culture. Reflecting on her own pregnancy, and sharing the thoughts of other first-time mothers, Wolf explores how and why pregnancy is a sometimes difficult emotional experience for many women. Also discussed is how the medical industry fails to provide women with much of the emotional support they need during pregnancy, and how businesses often make few concessions for new families.

Publisher's Note
A provocative combination of intimate revelations and social commentary examines the powerful emotional terrain of impending motherhood as the author documents the joy, wonder, and psychological effects of her own pregnancy as well as other first-time mothers by delving into a wealth of issues and beliefs surrounding pregnancy and motherhood in America today. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"Wolf asserts, for instance, that half of all pregnancies in this country end in abortion, a serious misstatement. At another point, she proclaims that the main source of postpartum support for an American woman is her husband, which puts in question the reality of the ever-increasing number of single mothers in the US, not to mention their supportive families and friends....Women like Wolf--independent, educated, and convinced of their uniqueness--who are facing pregnancy and motherhood, will find this information compelling, even a little frightening, but closer to the truth than most of the sugar-coated advice books for expectant mothers."
Kirkus Reviews  (07/15/2001)

"[A] scathing indictment of the American birthing industry and a first-person account of her traumatic cesarean sections."
Rebecca Johnson (10/20/2001)

"Unfortunately, Wolf's goal is not to write a small, personal book. It is, as with her previous writing, to link her expeirence to larger cultural and social forces. Her books can be boiled down to a simple calculus of woman acted upon by society. Here the formula is: 'They made me have a C-section and I'm mad as hell!'"
New York Times Book Review - Claire Dederer (10/07/2001)
